Nihari, haleem and paya catering in Karachi
Nihari, haleem and paya are slow-cooked comfort food, loved in Karachi's winter and during religious occasions. Syed Events supplies nihari, haleem and paya catering for winter weddings, walima breakfasts, niaz and large gatherings, with fresh naan and all the traditional garnishes.
What we serve
- Nihari slow-cooked beef or mutton with a rich, spiced gravy.
- Haleem blended lentils, wheat and meat, served with fried onions and lemon.
- Paya slow-cooked trotters in a thick, flavourful broth.
- Accompaniments: fresh naan, ginger, green chilli, lemon, coriander and fried onions.
How service works
These dishes are cooked slowly, often overnight, in large degs, then delivered hot and served from chafing dishes or live stations. Naan comes fresh from a live tandoor, and staff manage portions and garnishes.
Quantities and portions
We plan degs from guest count and the number of other dishes. Nihari and haleem are heavy, so portions are smaller per guest when served alongside other mains. For niaz, we also arrange packing for distribution.
Planning tips for Karachi
- Winter weddings and walima breakfasts suit nihari best.
- Haleem is popular for Muharram niaz and Ramadan gatherings.
